I want to go to my daughter.
Creating an opening on team dos Santos.
[ Cheering ]
I think we did it.

Chicken salad out of chicken [Bleep]
That's what we are.

We're all sitting there.
We're all like, "did Brock call us chicken [Bleep] Last night?"
[ Laughs ] Time to step up, boys.
Reality's setting in.
So, let's see, after Chris wins his fight,
Brock comes in very jovial.
"All right, that's what we do. That's it.
We change chicken [Bleep] Into chicken salad."
I was like, "did this [Bleep] Just called me chicken [Bleep]"
Like, what the hell?
Lesnar: I see Lenny's attitude's getting worse every day.
Maybe he needs to fight.
This morning he comes in, kind of just "whatever."
Yeah, I think it was 'cause they got the comment.
What comment?
The chicken [Bleep] Comment.
Think that was it.
Well, somebody needs to step up.
That's the problem.
You know, it kind of got to me at first,
and I think it kind of got to a lot of us.
You know, I ain't no chicken [Bleep] That's for damn sure.
Come here, fellas.
Have a seat right here.
I just want to clarify
this chicken [Bleep] Chicken salad issue, all right?
Before you guys got on this show,
you were one in two million people, all right?
You guys were just another fighter,
just another 170-pound chicken [Bleep]
But now you guys are chicken salads, all right?
That's what I'm trying to say here, okay?
Seize the moment, fellas.
You get one chance.
Believe that you are here for a reason.
Keep this ball rolling and stay positive and believe.
You have to believe that you can win this show.
Chicken salad, baby.
Let's go.
One, two, three.
Together: Win, win, win!
Davis: We're all gonna really miss Keon.
We were worried about who they were gonna bring in,
'cause right now, we got a real good dynamic with our group.
Everyone's, you know, disciplined.
Everyone's working hard.
Everyone gets along,
and everyone's headed in the same direction.
And if we get kind of a knucklehead,
it might cause some tension.
[ Knock on door ]
Hey.
What's up, fellas? What's going on?
Ryan.
Justin. Nice to meet you.
When I first walked in the gym, I didn't know what to expect.
Kind of felt like I was walking into a jail cell.
Welcome.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What's your name? Justin.
Justin. Edwards. Yeah.
And I came in and saw my team,
and everybody's real, you know, family oriented.
They kind of took me in with arms wide open.
It feels like it's gonna be a good fit here.
Randy.
Randy couture, man. I get that everywhere, man.
I get stopped in the casino all the time
asking for autographs or whatever.
Yeah, small Randy. [ Laughs ]
He still looks really young.
[ Laughter ]
I look good for 43, don't I?
[ Laughter ]
Polley: I was just very frustrated with the idea
that as coaches, we weren't doing everything possible
to put the guys in the right position to win.
A few things are gonna change,
for sure.
You know, I told junior I want to start training these guys
how I was trained, and I know how junior was trained.
Junior's being way too nice
'cause he's looking at them like kids,
not like men in a gladiator sport
about to fight other men in the UFC.
Now isn't the time to have soft feelings, without a doubt.
Coach Bailey and junior ... they're nice.
They're gonna be positive and all that stuff, you know.
I'm gonna be a lot more realistic.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Why are you on the cage? You're losing.
You're losing right now. You're losing the fight.
Let's go, Zach! Let's go!
When you lose, we lose.
You guys lose, I feel it. Junior feels it.
[Bleep] Furious right now 'cause you're better than that.
You guys are entirely too nice when it comes to competition.
Get it out of your head that you have to be nice.
[Bleep] That. Let's get better.
How do you get ready for a fight?
You [Bleep] Fight.
[ Grunting ]
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
He's cut.
Ohh.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on. Come on... patch it up, take it,
get ready to come back.
Nijem: Shamar got cut, you know, and we were going really hard,
and the problem is, is I wrestled, you know, in college,
so I understand what it takes,
and that's what wrestling practice is every day,
but there's a fine line
between over-training and training hard,
and I feel like, you know, we've crossed it just a little bit.
I don't like training like that
and the screaming and saying bad things.
I don't know. I don't like that.
That's not my way to train.
But I bring lew because he's very good,
you know, in wrestling.
And lew was very sad after javier's fight, so I thought,
"okay, I will let you push the training tonight
and make whatever you want."
Sometimes I don't have words to say for you,
how proud you guys make me, you know?
Training hard and try to do your best
is the important thing in the world.
And be nice. [ Laughs ]
I'm Canadian. We're always nice.
Yeah, you are. You are.
I agree with that.
This fight announcement is brought to you by dodge.
We are dodge, and we are ever neutral.
Team lesnar has now taken control of the fighter picks.
Our pick from team lesnar is len Bentley.
[ Applause ]
Why we chose len was we noticed
that Lenny had a little bit of an edge, you know.
He was getting kind of of edgy,
and we figured if we held him back for another week or so
that we might lose him.
Our fighter pick from team dos Santos...
Is Ryan mcgillivray.
[ Applause ]
Dos Santos: I think len is a better wrestling guy than Ryan,
but I think Ryan's hands is way better than len.
I think he got heavier hands and punch harder than len,
so I think that's gonna be the way.
[ Applause ]
Nijem: Where do you live?
Cope: San Diego. Oh, really?
You should come there sometime for some training.
I know, dude.
Cope: Now it's just come to the point
where we're starting to create bonds,
you know, amongst each other,
and it's kind of weird because as time goes on,
you know, team lesnar and team dos Santos...
They'll be hanging out more often.
'Cause then it's gonna be, like, if we all wanted to fight...
Yeah, I know.
You guys, seriously, you guys can't tell Chris nothing, man.
I'm gonna tell the coaches tomorrow, too.
Don't be telling them nothing of your game plans.
He's that guy. He's that guy.
Chris was spending a lot of time with the other team,
and that's fine.
I mean, it is what it is.
I don't care about the drama.
I'm not here for the drama,
but, you know, I don't really trust him.
Hey, but you know what? He got us the control, so...
I don't know if I trust him 100% yet,
but I'm grateful for what he got for us.
Yeah, for sure.
Every time he talks, he annoys me.
Yeah, he's hanging out with the other team right now.
He hangs out with them more than us for sure.
Chris is definitely the investigator.
I'm trying to keep him at arm's length.
I like the guy, but I think he's kind of playing both sides here.
Bentley: Who thinks I'm talking to the other team?
They're just skeptical.
It's all eating away in their head, you know, the competition.
Think about how you were a couple days ago, you know?
[ Laughs ] I don't know.
Just look at it through the eyes of Chris two days ago,
who hadn't fought yet, you know?
Like, you're still, like,
thinking about the game aspect of it all, you know.
You already got your first fight out of the way now,
so you're a lot more relaxed over the whole situation.
I'm a covert spy. I'm working for the other side.
Yeah.
I started karate when I was in fourth grade,
so I've always been athletic.
And I love karate.
I took it very seriously, and, you know,
I started becoming a professional,
full-time mma fighter.
I don't think anyone learns to be a fighter, honestly.
You either are or you aren't.
This is the opportunity of my lifetime, you know.
I've had some big fights.
I've fought some tough guys, you know.
But no matter who I fight on the show,
this is the biggest opportunity I've ever had.
Time. Perfect.
Chris.
Who? Chris cope. Oh.
A whole lot of time talking to those guys.
So, he's been sitting here
watching me all [Bleep] Day, all right?
Will you talk to him, keep his mouth shut?
He really has been...
You're better than this other kid.
He can tell him whatever he wants. I'll talk to him.
I know, but it's a mob factor, you know what I mean?
Don't get caught up in the bull [Bleep]
Just fight, all right, Lenny?
Just fight.
I don't want the coaches talking about my game plan
around Chris because, you know,
I don't know what he's gonna say to the other team.
Not that I care, you know.
A fight's a fight, and I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do anyways.
It's just mob factor.
It's a matter of principle.
It's no different than my opponent having all my film.
We picked him.
We picked this fight because we think no matter what,
you can beat him.
Yeah, for sure.
So don't get caught up in all this other stuff.
You're here for one reason and one reason only...
Just to fight. Okay.
All right? Yeah, I'm going to.
All right. That's all you got to do.
You know that.
Don't get caught up in this other stuff.
Lew wants me to rotate everybody around.
He wants what?
He wants me to rotate everybody 15 minutes,
15 minutes, 15 minutes.
Who? Lew.
[ Laughs ] Ryan's got a fight.
Dos Santos: Lew is a very good person,
but sometimes he thinks, like, pushing the guys too much
and goes speaking with the guys and forget about us,
you know, his team.
I told you for coach, push Ryan.
And you told Jimmy you're gonna switch for 15 minutes.
We asked if you want to do that...
No, no, my buddy,
you are here because you are a wrestling coach,
but you help me with other things, you know?
I am the coach here, you know,
so we have talk each other which other one
and with the guys, you know?
You have to follow it because I want.
You don't want nothing.
We want, you know?
For sure, for sure.
Polley: I know for sure I get overzealous with the guys
and want to kind of do as much as possible
and do this and do that.
I might get out of my Lane sometimes and things like that,
so junior was basically saying, you know, "we're a team.
"We got a stay a team, even the coaches.
We have to talk about everything and work as a group,"
things like that.
He's like, "I'm sorry I had to be so serious,
but I had to get my point across."
I was like, "no, man. It's fine."
He's like, "no, thanks for understanding."
Got me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ow!
Thank you, bro. [ Laughs ]
I'm right-handed. I'm right-handed. Sorry.
[ Grunting ]
Mcgillivray: My little girl ... she's the reason I'm here,
so she's my strength, and, you know, if I didn't have her,
I don't know if I could do this.
But with her being at home and knowing I'm doing this for her,
that's all the drive anybody could ever need.
Ryan, Ryan!
One, two, three, four, five.
Come on.
For me, it's a good style matchup.
Whether len tries to take me down or keeps it standing,
I feel pretty comfortable in both areas.
Head shot, head shot.
I know he was their number-one pick, so he can't be all bad.
To take out the number-one guy would be a big boost for us.
Elbows.
Elbow.
Yeah. Good, Ryan.
Polley: What time is weigh-ins? 4:00? Yeah.
Ryan was weighing about 180.
Really isn't that bad, you know.
It may sound bad to some people, but it wasn't that bad.
You'll need a sauna suit, albolene,
six bottles green rubbing alcohol,
three bags of epsom salt, blankets, and yourself.
The whole process will take 40 minutes.
Mcgillivray: It meant a lot to me to have junior and the other coaches
come over and help me to cut the weight.
It's no secret, I guess, so far
that I've been the heavier one in the house.
Not for lack of trying at all.
It's just maybe I'm a fatter kid than the other guys.
See his face?
Right now he's sweating.
This is what you're gonna have to do when you go to 205.
Ahh.
[ Laughs ]
Polley: You know, Ryan is a gamer.
He's focused. He's sharp.
He has a great mind for the sport.
We just got to get this win for Ryan and the team,
and I think he'll pull it off.
Dos Santos: For sure.
So if it doesn't go past one round, I see her...
It's gonna be a pleasure.
Gentlemen, welcome to another weigh-in.
We'll start with Mr. len first and then Mr. Ryan.
Lesnar: This is a guy that, when we first evaluated him, said,
"I just want to fight, and I just want to do this.
I'm here to win the show."
Well, here's your opportunity, fella,
and, you know, let's see some chicken salad.
170. Thank you.
[ Applause ]
Dos Santos: I'm excited to see Ryan fight
because he's a little bit taller than len,
and I hope everything goes good for him.
170. Thank you.
[ Applause ]
Well, I ain't gonna be here to witness it tomorrow, Lenny.
I hope you're all right with that.
I understand.
I want to wish you good luck, okay?
Unfortunately, I've had some personal issue come up
in my personal life.
I explained to the guys
that I wouldn't be here for the next fight.
So, good luck to you.
Thanks, coach. All right?
Just sit back, eat, chill out.
My personal life comes first, and everybody knows that.
Bentley: I feel good.
My body feels good.
My mind feels good.
A little nervous.
Got a lot on the line here.
Game plans are huge,
and it's definitely not something
that I want the other team, you know, getting ahold of.
That's why this morning I went to the gym.
I got my run in, and then me and the coaches alone, just us,
we drove my game plan and went over what we were gonna do.
Know the game plan?
Set a goal. Step to the task.
Run in, double jab, cross. Bam.
Mcgillivray: I really try to, at the time of my fights,
to think about myself, not to think about "has he trained?
How was his cut?"
Things that I can't control,
I try to take right out of my mind,
think about how hard my training camp was,
the sacrifices that I had to do.
I think about my family a lot.
Today's my little girl peighton's second birthday.
You know, I missed her first steps.
Now I missed her second birthday,
so these things are a little bit tough,
but once the fight's over,
I look forward to having a little pie
just to celebrate her birthday.
Bentley: It's kind of like getting on a roller-coaster ride, really.
You're so nervous getting in line.
You're, like, terrified.
You almost want to turn back, but they don't let you.
I think fighting's the same way for me.
Good one.
I look forward to a really game fight.
He seems like a game opponent.
He's got a lot of fights and experienced guys,
so it should be a good test.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Thanks, coach.
Good luck.
Ryan, you're gonna fight now.
Oh, nice.
You go through the same worries every single time you fight.
No matter who it is, no matter who the opponent.
[ Cheering ]
But once you step in the cage,
you realize there's no backing out.
You can't leave. You can't run away.
You can't ask for help.
Aah!
Just have to bite down,
put your hands up, you know,
and fight for your life.
Let's go, Lenny.
Your time, Ryan.
Show him.
Show him who is Ryan mcgillivray.
Come on, Ryan!
[ Cheering ]
Got to do work, Ryan! Come on!
Your time. Your time.
Mcgillivray: I look forward to a really, really good fight,
hopefully one of the best fights of the season.
Just know that I'll be coming hard
and I'm gonna be looking to finish every second I get.
This tale of the tape is brought to you by Miller lite.
Triple-hops brewed for that great pilsner taste.
Taste greatness.
All right, this fight is two 5-minute rounds.
If at the end of the second round
the judges declare it a draw,
we go to sudden victory.
The winner of that round wins the fight.
Good luck, guys.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go, Lenny.
All right, gentlemen, you ready?
You ready? Let's fight.
Dos Santos: That's it, Ryan.
Come on!
The fight clock is brought to you by edge shave gel.
When we're getting ready to get ready, we get ready with edge.
Together.
[ Cheering ]
Make him feel bad. Make him feel bad.
Good.
One more time, Ryan.
[ Cheering ]
Move him, Ryan.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Push his face down. Push his face down.
Push him down. There you go.
No, don't give up the back.
Don't give him the back. Don't give him the back.
Hands up. Hold him. Yeah.

His ribs... push. Push it down.
Keep him flat. Keep him flat.

[ Indistinct shouting ]
Go!

[ Indistinct shouting ]
Move him, move him!
That's it. Body. Body.
Good stuff.
Together. Together. Together. Now.
Good. Yeah.
[ Cheering ]
He's hurt! He's hurt! He's hurt!
[ Cheering ]
Keep going!
Elbow, elbow, elbow.
Recover, Lenny.
Push the face!
Yeah, push his face! Push his face!

Fingers out. Let the fingers out.
Punch his abs.
Nice!
Push! Push!
Pull your arm!
There you go.
Yeah, keep going.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Triangle!
Elbow!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Keep the pressure. Keep the pressure.
20, len!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Air horn blows ]
[ Applause ]
I don't know. That's a tough one to score.
Breathe, breathe.
Relax. Relax.
Strictly technique, baby! Work your feet!
He's tired.
You have to push him this round.
He will break. Give him a reason to quit.
Let's go. Force that air in.
[ Whistle blows ]
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
All right, gentlemen, let's fight.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Nice!
There you go.
Movement. Movement.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Dos Santos: Yes! Yes!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Yes! Feet, feet!
On your feet!
Fight, fight, fight!
Come on, Lenny.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
That's it.
Come on, len!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
More pressure now, Ryan.
There you go!
Face up, Ryan!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Combination. Combination, Ryan.
Combination.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Circle, circle.
Watch your head. Watch your head.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Move the legs! Move the legs!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Move the legs!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Elbows and knees.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
30 seconds, 30 seconds.
[ Air horn blows ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Get it in.
Come on.
You may have already won the fight.
Bring it in.
Gentlemen.
Good fight, guys. That was an awesome fight.
Yeah.
This fight replay is brought to you
by the United States marine corps.
The few, the proud , the marines.
That was an impressive fight.
Len comes out, hits him with a left hook, drops him,
jumps on top of him, and, you know,
grounds and pounds for a while.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Then Ryan comes out and drops him,
jumps on top of him, and works from the top.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Air horn blows ] I have that round dead even.
Gentlemen, let's fight.
White: Round two is pretty even, too.
Both guys were exchanging punches back and forth.
Ryan went for a takedown up against the fence.
Len got in there and got some good knees to the body.
I mean, Ryan came to fight, I came to fight,
and we put on a good show.
Hopefully it was an entertaining fight.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Air horn blows ]
All right, judge jarman scored this fight 19 to 19.
Judge trovert scored it 18 to 20.
And judge Griffin scored it 18 to 20
for the winner by majority decision...
Ryan. [ Cheering ]
Ryan's fight was amazing.
He showed he is very tough.
Very tough fighter.
[Bleep] [Bleep]
Bentley: Well, I thought it should have at least gone a third round,
but it's my fault for leaving it in the hands of the judges.
White: Len looked bummed out,
but len has nothing to be bummed out about.
Len's had the best fight since the competition started.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Let me tell you what, dude.
That's how you fight.
You got nothing to be [Bleep] Embarrassed about.
That's how you fight, boys, right there.
You go out and you [Bleep] Let it all go.
Anything can happen on the show.
That was an awesome fight.
You got nothing to be bummed out about
and nothing to be embarrassed about
when this thing airs on tv.
Get the family around and watch it 'cause you should be proud.
Thank you, sir.
All right? Good job.
[ Clears throat ]
Dos Santos: They did a wrong pick.
They did a wrong pick. You proved that, man.
You just took out their best guy.
Their best guy.
They thought you were gonna be soft.
For your daughter.
Mcgillivray: I can't really express all that meant to me.
Most people could tell that I was a little emotional after.
It meant a lot.
Dos Santos: She's proud of you, man.
When she watched your fight, you beat that guy up... man.
She said, "it's my dad."
[ Laughs ] "This is my dad."
"This is my dad." Yeah.
[ Applause ]
Let it out. Let it out, Ryan.
Let it out.
Mcgillivray: I've never really been emotional after a fight, but...
[ Sighs ]
[ Sniffles ]
Yeah, I know you miss her, man.
Sitting there with my daughter when this airs
is gonna mean a lot to me.
It's gonna mean a lot.
That's all I can say.
On the next episode of "the ultimate fighter"...
[ Laughs ]
Oh, God.
Team lesnar wonders if Ramsey nijem
has what it takes to be a fighter.
O'Neil: We're not sure if Ramsey knows he has to fight while he's here.
Am I gonna have to fight?
Or does Ramsey have them playing right into his hand?
Everyone thinks I'm just here for tv, let them think that.
These are the four ugliest guys? They're not that bad.
Former welterweight champion Matt Hughes drops in
to run Brock's guys through a wrestling clinic.
Oh, sorry about that.
And junior looks to keep his lead in the competition
when he chooses the fourth preliminary matchup.
Who will become the next ultimate fighter?
